It's been decided that this group is most appropriate for use
in discussion of radio controlled modeling. (planes, boats, cars,
helicopters, etc)
I think it would be nice if we could get our cast of characters
established initially. Later, we can move on to kit/engine/radio
reviews, flying experiences, club activities, etc. To get the ball
rolling, here's a profile of myself. I've tried to include things
I thought I'd be interested in learning about other people in the hobby.
Name: Scott Wiesner
Home: Boulder, Colorado
Age: 22
Years in RC: A tougher one to answer. During junior high, I was
a member of the Mid Missouri RC Association. I flew for
about a year and a half, but when my family moved, I never
got involved in the local activity. Having just recently
graduated from college, I thought I'd get back into the
hobby to fill up my spare time. I spent a month deciding
what to get, a month building, and soloed at the end of August
during my 8th flight. I guess it's like riding a bike.
My instructer never had to take the transmitter away from me.
Current equiptment: At the moment, I'm still flying the plane I
re-learned on. I've got a Futaba FG7-K FM radio, Great Planes
Trainer 40, with a K&B .40. I'm working on a Windfree sailplane,
a New Era 40, and have a Cap 21 in the closet for a winter
project.
Flying field description: We (the Boulder Aeromodeling Society) have
2 paved runways, 30x350 (NS) and 30x300(EW). Prevailing winds
are out of the South.
